Todd, did you just drop a stealth Nick Cave reference? Sweet.

Who does he think he is, Bob Bloody Kane?

Agreed.

Saul Rubinek vs. Dan Hedaya
Miriam Margolyes vs. Mimi Rogers

The Gift IS underappreciated, but that doesn't mean it's a great film. It's a decent film, with some really good performances from Cate Blanchett and Giovanni Ribisi.

Eddie Valient, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
and George and Martha, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

All I want to know is what The Longhair thinks of this summer's upcoming slate of movies, mmmmkay?

Oh, seriously. I just want to call up Martin Sheen and croon softly, "It's not your fault…it's not your fault…"

Oh, shoot. I just lost The Game.

One of my all-time favorite Simpsons lines comes from this episode, courtesy of Mr. Burns: "Does anyone have change for a button?"

Either
Nick Cave, "There She Goes, My Beautiful World"
Or the final movement of Beethoven's ninth symphony.

So…having had that exact experience, I won't need to be watching it, then?
